warmer?

It will make it illegal to own a firearm unless it
is registered with the database in Washington D.C. As a gun owner you will have
to be finger printed, you will be required to provide your DL#, SS#, you must
maintain a valid address at all times, submit to mental and physical health
records being put on file, you will also be required to file any address changes
and any ownership changes even if a private sale. Each update will cost $25 and
if you fail to comply you will lose your right to own firearms. This bill and
its language mirror almost completely one defeated last year in the House of
Representatives by soon to be Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. Will we the citizenry
be as lucky this time?
Pass this on to everyone who believes in strict
Constitutionalism and remember that laws only apply to those who obey them.
Criminals by definition and nature do not abide by laws. New laws and
restrictions only apply to the law abiding citizen and are not written with the
criminal in mind. With guns, it is not about having laws on the books to
prosecute individuals, it is about taking guns away from the people so that no
one has them in the first place. One last item to note, when assuming power and
creating a fascist state, Hitler was a proponent of strong gun laws because a
disarmed populace was much easier to control than an armed one. The kings of old
also outlawed weapons of any kind in any region that they conquered to quell the
ability of the citizens to up rise against them.
The Founding Fathers of
this nation understood all of the above and because of this they included the
second amendment in the constitution. In fact, they knew that at some point in
every society's life span that the need for the population to arise came about.
To this end they made the right to keep and bear arms against a tyrannical state
an absolute right that could not be revoked. They did this because the first
thing tyrants and despots do is to remove a population's right to defend
themselves When this is done, the tyrants have no problem with the destruction
of society as we know it.
Send this on to all true patriots! Protect your
Second Amendment!
The following is a summary of the bill as provided by
the Congressional Research Service. If you read the whole bill, you'll find it
will effectively preclude the ownership of ANY firearms by law-abiding people
unless licensed by the Attorney General. How long do you think THAT would
take??
Congressional Research Service Summary
The following summary
was written by the Congressional Research Service, a well-respected nonpartisan
arm of the Library of Congress. GovTrack did not write and has no control over
these summaries.
1/6/2009--Introduced.
Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and
Record of Sale Act of 2009
- Amends the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act
to prohibit a person from possessing a firearm unless that person has been
issued a firearm license under this Act or a state system certified under this
Act and such license has not been invalidated or revoked. Prescribes license
application, issuance, and renewal requirements. Prohibits transferring or
receiving a qualifying firearm unless the recipient presents a valid firearms
license, the license is verified, and the dealer records a tracking
authorization number. Prescribes firearms transfer reporting and record keeping
requirements. Directs the Attorney General to establish and maintain a federal
record of sale system.
Prohibits: (1) transferring a firearm to any
person other than a licensee, unless the transfer is processed through a
licensed dealer in accordance with national instant criminal background check
system requirements, with exceptions;
(2) a licensed manufacturer or
dealer from failing to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements of
this Act;
(3) failing to report the loss or theft of the firearm to the
Attorney General within 72 hours;
(4) failing to report to the Attorney
General an address change within 60 days; or
(5) keeping a loaded
firearm, or an unloaded firearm and ammunition for the firearm, knowingly or
recklessly disregarding the risk that a child is capable of gaining access, if a
child uses the firearm and causes death or serious bodily injury. Prescribes
criminal penalties for violations of firearms provisions covered by this Act.
Directs the Attorney General to: (1) establish and maintain a firearm
injury information clearinghouse; (2) conduct continuing studies and
investigations of firearm-related deaths and injuries; and (3) collect and
maintain current production and sales figures of each licensed manufacturer.
Authorizes the Attorney General to certify state firearm licensing or record of
sale systems.
Pleased be advised and pass this along: House Bill
HR 45, Blair Holt Licensing and Record Act of 2009 will, in my opinion, be the
first of 2 or 3 steps toward confiscation of privately owned
firearms.
You can follow the sequence as it already happened in Canada
and the UK. First the government needs to register the guns so they will know
where to find them

Rush ran a medical clinic that developed the nation's first mass sickle cell anemia testing program. He also served six months in prison for illegal possession of firearms.
